This week  Step 2

Learn one beginner exercise or song

Pick the easiest possible thing. Justin Guitar / Pianote / YouTube all have free starters.

- Mark "Practice 4× this week, 20 min each" as done

This month  Step 3

Track sessions in a notes app. Same chord/scale until it's automatic.

A roommate, a friend, a recording online — the audience changes how you practice.
